    Now the Washington post also did a piece on this:
    http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...us-statistics/2012/02/21/gIQAJaRbSR_blog.html

    I'm I the only one who was at least mildly surprised he just completely made up facts (50 percent of our Euthanasia is involuntarily, which is basically murder, come on who would believe such a thing, except for the audience), without any support, and then started telling people that Obama will lead you down this read.

    I know I shouldn't be surprised that politicians make stuff up, but usually there is at least a shred of truth in what they say.

    Well, I think for most people in the United States, Santorum can really surprise you on the first encounter, but once you're over the shock and the "can you believe it? did this just happen?" part, he's less shocking and appalling.

    By like the 8th time, you just come to expect it.

    Sad news indeed when politicians start making crap up like this, and then warning that the US is on a road to this location which doesn't even exist.

    Rick is a real crazy person.

    50% of the euthanasia in the US is involuntary, it's just that we don't acknowledge it publicly as euthanasia, we call it pain management.

    (Thank god at least we do it)

    Yep.

    If there weren't a significant number of people willing and eager to eat all the bull**** this guy spews than none of us would have ever heard of him.
